Meaningless search results - again !

Search results from Upwork have again gone extremely buggy and un-usable -- Why is this so difficult to get right ? In fact it works for a while & then along comes your next update and possibly recreates the old bugs again .. this is not acceptable at all .. 

 

Pl. find attached a search I performed & the non-relevant results that are showing .. note that this was a UK specific search ...

Well, it has been quite a while & there has been no response - not even acknowledgement of the issue ..  Now, when I go to the "My request" page, it goes back automatically to the main page - why are there so many bugs in your site ?! 

And by the way, that was an earlier isse (going  back automatically to the main page) that they supposedly "fixed" as well ..

I can confirm that this is still not working & no word from anyyone.. Isn't the search supposed to be the most important tool for clients ??!

OK, it looks like the meaningless results show up only when logged in ... when I am not logged in and perform the same search, the results are way different & way more relevant. Not sure why the results are influenced (very poorly) when logged in. This is surely a bug - pl. fix ASAP. The results should not differ (so radically) based on whether someone is logged in or not.

Hi Subramaniam,

Why is this taking for ever to fix ?? What is it that your developers are struggling with ? This should be a fundamental feature on the site !
I tried the search again - & the results continue to be meaningless. I thought there was an update yesterday and this would be fixed - but still apparently not.
Please note that this is a not "free" service you are offering - we are paying monthly subscription fees and would ideally want bugs to be fixed immediately - not at your own pace ! Plus there is no deadline provided .. very unprofessional !
